Match-winner Emre Can believes Liverpool's victory over Watford on Monday night was a 'big, big step' to achieving their goal of returning to the Champions League.
The Germany international scored a memorable overhead kick in first-half stoppage-time as the Reds recorded a 1-0 victory at Vicarage Road to put their top-four fate in their own hands.
It was a largely forgettable contest with Can's effort a rare moment of inspiration, although Watford could have stolen a point at the end when Sebastian Prodl slammed a volley against the crossbar.
The win for Jurgen Klopp's side was made sweeter by the fact their rivals for a place in the Premier League's top four dropped points over the weekend.
